    25 Products With Disgustingly Satisfying Before And After Photos You'll Be Glad You Saw, But Your Stomach May Not Be

    Ewwwww...but also, awesome.

    1. Debrox earwax removal drops to flush out all the gunk you might not even know is clogging your ears. What's that I hear? Oh, it must be the over 1,000 reviewers ~waxing~ poetic about how much they love this stuff.

    2. Baby Foot, an absolutely amazing lavender-scented foot peel to make old and dead skin peel off like wild and basically make it look like you got whole new feet.

    3. A stainless steel tongue scraper, aka the oral hygiene gadget you never knew you needed. Buh-bye, bad breath and aftertastes, I won't miss you. Also, let me just say that I have a very strong stomach for before and after photos...but this one got me.

    4. Salicylic acid wart-removing adhesive bandages that are discreet enough to look like they're just covering up a paper cut or scratch, but are actually busy working their magic to remove even the most stubborn bumps.

    5. A bottle of anti-dandruff shampoo to stop you from being a flaky friend, once and for all.

    6. Or Briogeo's Scalp Revival Charcoal and Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo, because your dry, flaky scalp is craving the same exfoliating scrub treatment you give your face. Plus, it works so fast it's basically magic.

    7. Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner that'll clean your jets in just 15 minutes and is named for exactly what you'll say when you see all the gunk that was hiding in them.

    8. A hairbrush-cleaning tool for anyone who, like me, becomes disgusted by hair the second it is no longer attached to a head and always procrastinates cleaning buildup from their brushes so they don't have to — *gasp* — touch it. This thing is willing to deal with that grossness for you.

    9. Mederma Scar Cream, which Taylor Swift should write a song about — it'll leave you breathless as it gets rid of a nasty scar.

    10. A super-effective and hygienic toilet-cleaning wand with removable antibacterial, deodorizing heads for the cleanest latrine you've ever seen. You might even wonder if all that gunk was ever really there to begin with, or if it was all just a horrible, horrible dream.

    11. The Tubshroom, a simple-yet-genius device to catch all those nasty loose hairs and keep them from clogging your drain. Skeptical? What if I told you this thing has over 20,000 5-STAR REVIEWS?!

    12. Or a snaking tool to free your drain of all the hair that's already there. Remember that strong stomach for before and afters I said I had? People, we have found my limit.

    13. Possibly magical pimple patches that'll make zits do a vanishing act, and allow you to see the oh so satisfying amount of gunk they've pulled from your pores. No wonder they've got over 3,000 positive reviews!

    14. An amazing antifungal nail treatment to give you results so satisfying, you won't even miss having a reason to say "there's a fungus among us" (even though yes, that is fun to say).

    On the left, a reviewer's toenails looking uneven and fungus-y, with the text "May 12." On the right, the same reviewer's toenails looking clearer and more even with the text "June 14"

    15. A giant foot file that'll make even the crustiest tootsies smoother than you ever thought possible — and that's no small feet.

    16. Goo Gone's kitchen degreaser, which, well, gets the goo gone! Which is good, because from your stove to your microwave to your counters and shelves, your cooking routine leaves a lot of surfaces gooey (same — no shame).

    17. A paws-itively amazing rubber pet hair broom with a built-in squeegee designed to sweep up all that shedding (and even liquids!) like no other. I know you don't want to think about how much fur is probably caked into your carpet, but won't it be nice knowing it's all gone?

    18. Or a small-but-mighty pet hair scraper for a more targeted way to de-fuzz areas big and small. Just look at that cat, sitting on the rug while their hoomin cleans it — like they don't even care that they leave such furry havoc in their wake.

    Promising review: "My family drove from Wisconsin to Washington with our yellow Lab. I didn't think my van would ever be the same again. I bought this tool and was super skeptical, but I was desperate. THIS TOOL LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!!! After finishing (it did take a bit of time, the tool is small) my floors and seats of my van look BRAND-NEW!!! I would pay triple the amount I paid for this tool. I've never seen anything like it! We own a pretty heavy duty shop vacuum and it didn't even scratch the surface. We also tried every type of pet/lint roller we could find and nothing came close. This tool will blow your mind! After cleaning out our van, I immediately messaged all friends and family with pets (yes, it really is that good!). Don't waste any more time or money on other products. This simple tool will do a better job than you could ever imagine! A MUST-own for any pet owner!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $12.

    19. Pumie Toilet Bowl Ring Remover, aka a pumice stone with a handy handle sure to produce results that'll bowl you over.

    20. Bioré Deep-Cleansing Pore Strips, because no list of satisfying products could be complete without these babies. Name a better feeling than peeling one of these off and seeing all the grime you got out of your pores, I'll wait.

    21. Amazing dishwasher-cleaning tablets that are septic safe, made for busting mineral buildup and odors, and beloved by over 4,000 (!!!) reviewers. The only downside is it may gross you out when you realize you've been washing your dishes in a filthy machine this whole time.

    Just pop one in for a full cycle and let it work its magic. Plus, you only need to use it once a month, so a single, $6 six-pack will last you a while!

    Promising review: "Worked very well! We’ve lived in our home a while, and small remedies haven’t done much to help clean the dishwasher. I finally decided to give a cleaner a try, and this one worked exceptionally well. The pics above are after one use of two packs (as per instructions for a particularly dirty washer). I'll definitely be getting more when I run out to help maintain a cleaner dishwasher!" —chocobeanie

    22. Bio Oil, an amazing vitamin A and E formula that over 7,000 5-star reviewers swear by for working skincare miracles, from fading scars to smoothing and moisturizing. Basically, it's the secret ingredient your self-care routine has been missing.

    It really does work fast. I had an acne scar on my face I just couldn't stop picking at (you know how it is), and I picked some of this up at the drugstore and it healed my forehead up in a matter of days. It absorbs quickly and just feels nice to put on, so I'm tempted to use it pretty much everywhere! The design of the bottle is really cute and convenient, too.

    Promising review: "I have eczema and I'm constantly trying to find basic skincare than I can use regularly. I have some really bad mosquito bite scars from last summer and some issues with hyperpigmentation, not to mention scarring from eczema outbreaks throughout the years. I saw this reviewed online and decided to give it a try, even though every other product they recommended for skincare was a bust for me. Not this! It smelled like it was going to be too strong and the consistency felt like it was just going to sit on my skin, so I was shocked when my skin drank it in and I had no irritation at all. Even better, after about two months I started noticing some fading and my skin texture felt better. Now it's been about four months and I'm a believer. I'm still on my first bottle (it seems like I've needed to use less over time or something), but I'm considering sizing up with my next purchase, just so I can drench myself in it daily...I'm only kind of exaggerating. It's actually gentle enough for my face and I can't even use Cetaphil on my face (I use very gentle face wash and moisturizer). I hope it becomes your new go-to skin treatment too!" —MissMaria82

    Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (or $8.47+ with the Subscribe & Save option; available in three sizes).

    23. Keurig-cleaning cups that can be used with any Keurig single-cup machine and will keep your homemade brews tasting their best, eliminating any nasty residue from old batches that's been making them taste like the crappy cup of coffee Buddy buys Jovie in Elf.

    24. Squishface Wrinkle Paste, an anti-itch, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal cream made for cleaning the cute faces (and tail pockets) of the wrinkliest doggos around. Oh, so that's what your pup looks like without those unpleasant-looking tearstains and wrinkle redness!

    25. A bottle of The Bucko soap scum and grime remover spray that'll send all the icky soap scum in your tub packing — for good.
